Poorly Freelander 1 needs some help

Hi Everyone new to the Landyzone!

I have a freelander 1 GS td4 on 51 reg that when its hot won't start, 3 Garages & £300 later it still won't start. First time it broke down the RAC came out told me it was fuel pump so off it went to the garage new fuel pump, drove off went shopping came back to my car and again just turns over, just cranks all the time so off the car goes and my faithful garage then strips the injectors down and then decides its crank sensor, I then move to Norwich and take it in too another garage who agrees its the crank sensor that gets fitted and again it won't start when warm, then take it to a landrover specialist called JSF in Norwich who tells me its the diesel leakoff pipe on the injectors which I replaced this morning to find yet again it won't start when warm! can anyone help me???

You replaced the cam sensor?

the fuel pump you had changed... was is the electric fuel pump.. looks about the size of a can of red bull ... if so.. #### it with a spanner (or other reasonably heavy implement) ... seriously

well known for doing the symptoms you suggest. If it works after you have hit it, replace it... cheap and easy to do yourself. If the garage hasnt done it right ... or done it at all...

that does sound like the cam sensor not the crankshaft sensor

HI thanks for the help, visited Hunter Landrover today in Norwich on business so asked the head mechanic he suggested fuel rail pressure sensor?

So what did they do when they say "stripped the injectors down". A leak back from an injector will give your problem.
As for JSF why would a return pipe cause a problem, other than a spill of fuel, unless he though it was letting to much fuel back which would be an injector not the pipe.

failing injector

this is a very current topic im in a similar situation car 2001 td4, car failed to start the other day, it was the inline fuel pump the one located on the nearside engine bay , all i did was give it a tap to get it going, got home and removed the pump and tested it on the bench, it seemed ok but once fitted back to the motor its making a gurgling noise, so anew one is on orded,
to help you decide if you have the same problem , listen for the wirrring noise of the fuel pump, it will run for about 20 seconds, also make sure the one under the rear seat is working too, , i think there is a pressure switch on the fuel filter so if the pumps are not working correctly the engine will not run as it protect the high pressure fuel pump, let us know how you get on
